Design Brief: Design and make a stuffed animal toy to use in a wildlife charity fundraising appeal.
Sequence of Learning for Teachers
In this unit of work children design and make a stuffed toy sample for a charity to use as part of a fundraising campaign. Children begin by investigating stuffed cuddly toys to identify how they are made and what makes them attractive. They apply this knowledge later when developing design specifications for their own product. They develop their skills in working with textiles and creating pattern templates. They learn the technique of overstitching to create a three-dimensional textile product. Applying this learnt knowledge, they design a unique animal soft toy as part of the design and make activity by creating a mood board and using this to develop a pattern template from which to make their product. They add decorative features to their soft toy product and develop a fundraising appeal poster as part of the evaluation process.
This knowledge, skills and understanding is delivered through the following six sessions:
Some activities / sessions can be re-arranged or delivered in different ways in the learning sequence to allow for whole-class teaching and/or small adult-led sessions to take place at the same time.
